1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundGanglioneuromas are the rarest and most benign of the neuroblastic tumors. Although generally benign, multiple retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas have been documented. However, only one case in previous studies underwent complete resection of all retroperitoneal lesions while the follow-up time was relatively short. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we presented two female patients in their twenties who were diagnosed as multiple retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas by percutaneous biopsy, with tumor involvement in adrenal, retroperitoneal and pelvic regions. Complete excision of all detectable lesions was performed by laparoscopic dissection. Both patients had a good postoperative recovery and remained recurrence-free at the 5-year follow-up.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, the present study firstly reported cases of multiple retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas with a 5-year follow-up, indicating the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic dissection of multiple retroperitoneal ganglioneuromas.
